Canucks can’t even stomach moving Boeser unless they’re getting a player back or can flip the return for one. Aquillini won’t let them rebuild. Hard to imagine Mercer and Nemec/Casey++ is enough for them to stomach losing two star centers in one season



Canucks aren’t going anywhere their window closes when Quinn doesn’t resign they should take the opportunity and offload this nhl talent be now or at the draft and really kick start their rebuild retool whatever. Miller Peter Quinn boss that’s legit pieces that can fetch a lot

Btw I’m someone that doesn’t care about the cap and even I would pass on Peterson at 11.6 unless it’s basically for free. The cap hit alone should drive his price down
 
Yeah between Pettersson’s strange season, his cap hit, and his upcoming NMC, it’s hard to imagine the Canucks getting a package that they’re satisfied with. That’s the #1 reason i think he won’t be moved. Stars never return as much as fans want and i think a lacklusterPettersson return would make the fanbase go nuclear.
 
They are playing important games and his game is still off since they moved Miller. Quinn Hughes being hurt shouldn't impact his game this much if it has been used as an excuse. Then we have to worry if he meshes here as well. Especially on the powerplay and having to play possibly as a wing instead of center.
Pettersson would 100% replace Nico in the dot for powerplays; wed much rather have Nico focusing on defensive and PK faceoffs

He wont be a Devil though lol, Cozens is far more realistic

I think Peterka would be the guy I want the most of the names that have been thrown around. And then maybe Pageau as a realistic center add.
At that point, if were talking super unrealistic options, Id prefer Robert Thomas more than anyone else in the league barring the McDavid and Crosbys obviously

On the other hand, the strange season, the cap hit and the upcoming NMC are the only reasons they would even consider moving him. If he repeats this next year, they're screwed.

If someone came to us last year willing to take Palat or Haula off your hands for a 7th rounder you may have thought that wasn't enough, now we would kill to get that much for them.

The price can always go down...
 
Maybe Vancouver wants us to take Pettersson so that it will prevent us from being able to take Quinn in a couple of years. Maybe they’re trying to sabotage that?

Anyway, I see we’ve went another 7 pages since that conversation started. I’m not really caught up.

Wait, doesn’t ROR have two more years left after this? He’s old and he could become the Haula replacement soon enough. And by Haula replacement I mean throw a rod.

He does have a pretty friendly cap hit for what he is though.

Odd are they just end up trading next years 1st for Nelson and extend him immediately thereafter to an insane four year deal lol

And thats not even hating; probably the cheapest option possible that isnt a pure rental (if they extended him)

Im excited for something more or prepared for even less lol

Yeah 2 more years left on ROR's contract is a killer. If it was only 1 year it would be more acceptable, though I still would not do it.

Call me nuts but I'm hesitant to bring in anyone over the age of 29 unless its a rental or one year term.

If ElMo was more like Dano the world would be a better place!

Im not sure if its the worst, he would be a 3C for us next year and if he regressed more 4C who can win FO and play physical game and then be gone.

Nelson going to Avs . Doesn’t leave much left for us . RoR ? If we can’t get him….. just sell. No point investing assets and rolling with f***ing Haula as your #2 C ….
 
Yeaaaa told you guys a non contending team had no business going after Brock considering how high the cost would be. Some of ya live in a fantasy land.

Lmao someone posted a picture on Facebook with Fitz at Blake Shelton concert tonight
Hope it's true. Honestly for the best.
